Chicago-based nonprofit Common Threads will host the 7th Annual World Festival at Soldier Field's United Club on Monday, March 4th to celebrate the organization's 10th anniversary of providing school-based nutrition and health education programs to under-served communities in Chicago.
Hosted by Bravo's Gail Simmons, Hillshire Brands' Jon Harris, journalist Candace Jordan and Beam's Mindy Mackenzie, the 7th Annual World Festival is a Chicago-themed evening of celebration featuring specially prepared international cuisines by more than 60 celebrity chefs, participation by Common Threads students and a full evening of local entertainment.
World Festival VIP ticket holders will have access to a special VIP room sponsored by BMO Harris Bank where guests will have an unusual 'sneak peak' at a number of new and up-and-coming restaurants set to open in Chicago in 2013.
The evening will also feature a live fund-to-need auction, with all proceeds supporting Common Threads programs. Common Threads is also conducting a silent online auction, Feb. 19 - Mar. 12, at www.charitybuzz.com/

The fun doesn't end at Soldier Field, however. If you want to mingle with your favorite chefs (after all, they'll be working the earlier event) or if you can't make it to the main event, get your tickets to the VIP After-Party at The James Hotel!
All tickets may be purchased online at www.events.commonthreads.org. This is one evening for a good cause you don't want to miss!
